Norway Winter Visit and Coastal Voyage on Havila Capella

A very abbreviated photo account of our February 2023 trip to Norway, in search of northern lights and beautiful coastlines.
Beginning with a short visit to Oslo, followed by a trip on the Bergensbanen train to Bergen, with an overnight stop in Flam via the Flamsbana rail.
Then, after visiting Bergen, on to a round-trip from Bergen to Kirkenes and back on the Norway Coastal Express ship, the Havila Capella.
There are 34 stops each way on this voyage, in incredibly scenic towns along the Norway coastline.
